Fun with Mood Boards

November 9, 2010

Decorating a house is a lot of work, right? Well, I’ve been working very hard on this flight then! ;-)

Have you ever heard of a “mood board”? I never heard of such a thing until reading about them on Young House Love. Basically, a mood board is a way to sift through furniture, color themes, accessories, and the like to get decorating ideas for your home.

I just spent the past couple of hours going crazy on Olioboard, an interactive tool for experimenting with the style and mood of a space. Even if I can’t find/purchase the items that I selected for my mood boards, they’re still great inspiration for hunting down something similar.

Check out my design ideas so far! :-D

Have you ever tried to “virtually” decorate a room or space? Was it helpful? Do you have any tips, tricks or advice?

I just saw that “Keep Calm and Carry On” wall hanging at ZGallerie shopping this afternoon and loved it!

This is why I want a house, not an apartment… Looks wonderful, I don’t think you need help. You should go into design :)
